Since we published this post last year, Barack Obama got a little too friendly with the food at a Chipotle and Bill Clinton went from the most famous vegan to possibly cheating on his diet at times. Favorite foods are forever, so this Presidents' Day we revisit this post in honor of our presidents and their beloved meals.

For most of us, Presidents' Day means little more than a long weekend. This year, that's going to change. For all their starched suits, staged handshakes, and scandals, presidents are people, too -- with pet grizzly bears and proclivities for skinny-dipping. Which is to say, after all their grandiose galas and diplomatic dinners, they like to tuck into their favorite snacks as much as the rest of us.

In that spirit, we've rounded up some of their most beloved foods, courtesy of The Food Timeline -- because what better time is there to take on a new cooking project while also brushing up on your trivia? Once you've finished binge-watching "House of Cards" and shoveling out your driveway, that is. Read on to find out what FDR fed British royalty (the nerve! the awesomeness!), what comfort food made Nixon weak in the knees, and how George Bush likes his brunch (it is exactly what you would expect).

Barack Obama | Just Good Chili"I’ve been using this chili recipe since college and would bring it to any potluck. I can’t reveal all the secrets, but if you make it right, it’s just got the right amount of bite, the right amount of oomph in it and it will clear your sinuses." -Barack Obama

Franklin Delano Roosevelt | Yum Dogs"Fact: The King and Queen of England were served hot dogs at FDR's Summer White House on June 11, 1939."

Ulysses S. Grant | Nineteenth Century: Roman Punch"Many of the state dinners consisted of twenty-nine courses with a break after the entrée for Roman punch to fortify the guests."

Abraham Lincoln | Alsatian Gingerbread"Once in a while my mother used to get some sorghum and ginger and make some gingerbread. It wasn't often, and it was our biggest treat." - Abraham Lincoln

John F. Kennedy | Bay Scallop Chowder"Soup was a dish close to the heart of President Kennedy, since it gave him an opportunity to be served the fish for which his New England background had given him a special appreciation."

Richard Nixon | Fatted Calf's Meatloaf"President Nixon was quite fond of his wife's meat loaf, and meat loaf appeared about once a month on the family dinner menus."

Dwight D. Eisenhower | Secret Ingredient Beef Stew"Beef soup was one of his specialties, and he would leave the soup simmering on the stove in the kitchen for hours, causing much mouth-watering among the kitchen staff."

Or fried chicken isn't chicken fried steak. Surely there are enough fried chicken recipes on the site that they could have used one of those to fit the quote.Beef soup is not beef stew, as I'm sure Ike could have told you.Huevos Rancheros aren't topped with a hunk of pork and green chili.And I want Obama's own chili recipe. ;)

You're really reaching, people, pretty much forcing round things into square holes on most of these lists you do. Put a little more effort into it and don't rely on second-, third- or fourth-hand Internet knowledge. Love Food52, but these kinds of mistakes make it hard to the respect.

Bill Clinton is not so much a vegan by choice by has multiple food allergies as detailed by the now retired pastry chef, Roland Mesnier who is a WONDERFUL chef and character. The former President is allergic to gluten, dairy, and chocolate. I thought life was bad enough just being allergic to gluten. Chef Roland said the pastry kitchen has an excellent carrot cake they would make for him for dessert for state dinners. However, at times the President would INSIST on the chocolate cake made for everyone else. The next day he would be seen with puffy eyes and other consequences of breaking his diet. His strict and narrow diet he follows is NOT by choice but for medical necessity.

This is very entertaining! Love how you've paired food52 recipes with both famous and little-known quotes by/about presidents. Thank you for featuring my Huevos Rancheros recipe with the George W. Bush quote. All of these recipes look really scrumptious! :)

Hi Claire, I actually had no idea about that! I used Food Timeline (apart from the Obama quote, which I had to find elsewhere) for my research, and there wasn't anything about Clinton's veganism. Thanks for letting us know!
